Is the pi swap worth it?
#11
Im trying to decide the patriots i wont have to port or polish cause the ones i was looking at were already done, but the pi swap is a couple of hundred dollars cheaper idk ill figure out probably going patriots.

Ok, PI head swap alone will net you a lot of power over your NPI equipment you have now. Doing a patriot head swap along with stage 2 cams will net you even more and will get you close, if not over, 300rwhp with longtubes which you might as well do since you will have the exhaust manifolds off anyways. So i'd go ahead and add that to your expenses list. Just make sure you get your patriots gone over well before you put them on because ive heard horror stories on here about them. And check out Cushman's website. He has a patriot heads and cams package for like $1895 where you get patriot stage 2 heads and your choice of cams. So that might be beneficial for you to look into. Or if you want to go even further you can get the new Trickflow heads and CMS cam package for $2500. But its all up to you. The trickflows will net you a heck of a lot more than the patriots and will probably be a lot better quality as well. So take everything into consideration.

Get this and call it a day. It will give you more horsepower than swapping heads.

Well im fer sure doing some sort of head and cam work along with the manifold and then im going to do the 1400$ supercharger or giggle gas, so i should get around 400rwhp, and that mph kit looks nice but the price doesnt especially for pretty much a supercharger and tune, but its not to horrid I am probably going patriots with some stage II cams and then ls1's should fear me ahah

I dont think that the mongoose supercharger kit will give a non-pi car more power than ported pi heads/cams swap. Heads and intake manifold gotta flow in order to take advantage of the boost. And if you do spray, make sure to get some sort of metal intake manifold. Friend just blew his stock plastic manifold to pieces cus he missed a gear and hit the limiter on spray...and the spray isnt set up correctly. Just do it right the first time like you said and you'll be good.

I got my PI heads with lifters,cams, roller rocker and valve covers for $200 and the intake I got it brand new with a Trickflow plenum for $200 i believe. I bought the head gasket set(full engine set) $89.95 and a great set. And yup I thought of buying some patriot heads too but for the price no way lol.
